FRANCIS X. HEIDRICH SR., who unsuccessfully sued Disney Development Co., accusing it of fraud over an Osceola County land development, won't have to pay lawyers' fees. But Heidrich, who lost the suit last year, must pay court costs, state Circuit Judge William Gridley said Tuesday. Heidrich's lawyer, David Simmons of Orlando, said the ruling would save Heidrich about $1 million. Lawyers' and court costs totaled more than $2 million in the case. Simmons said he plans to ask the court to also trim Heidrick's court costs.
